By Brother William Quinn, F.S.C., Ph.D. using a peculiar word to describe the situation; a word as told to which I would have to explain. Some of the students that Robert S. Lyons, Jr. I had this past year lacked a certain degree of toughness. What do I mean by that? Unfortunately, I found that Brother William Quinn was known as Didymus John among the students I ran across, a certain number of when he arrived at La Salle in 1946 to teach math, them took the easy way out.

Here are some of them: “The fact that we have women students here on campus is a major change since I was here last.

But my own experience that everyone around the college seemed to know what has been that the girls were quite capable in mathematics, they were doing and what they were about. at least the few that I had in my classes. “The second thing that impressed me, particularly on the part of the students, is that I got the impression that La Salle was the place where people liked to be. I got the r here is certainly more student involvement at impression that the faculty liked the fact that they were La Salle, more faculty-student input in decision making teachers at La Salle College.

But the overwhelming impression that I had when I I think that committees are taking time and energy in areas first came back was the sense of contentment that the where administrators should make decisions.

The administration, being at the service of the one criticism. I’d like to summarize my impression by college, should formulate these ideas and build a con-

I think that the faculty input should be largely in the realm of contributions of ideas, opinions, and positions. I think formulation and state­ ments of consensus should be the responsibility of ad­ ministrators.

A s far as the physical side of the college is concerned, one of the new buildings on campus since I was here last, of course, is Olney Hall. I find this a delightful building, a building that really meets the needs of the college. I think that the setup of faculty offices is particularly good, especially in view of the fact that there has been a change Brother Quinn checks out one of the terminals in the college’s in the general atmosphere regarding the relationship Computer Center. between faculty and students, through the provision of faculty hours expressly for the purpose of meeting stu­ resource, to take in as many as we could handle despite dents, and places where faculty can meet students.

In addition, a Day Care Center is available for mothers interested in attending day division classes. Most of the women at La Salle are grateful for the “second chance” given to them by the CEW Program. “ I’ve always wanted to go back to school,” said Nedra Merritt, a CEW student who is now attending full-time after taking one course a semester for a while. “ Money stopped me from Joseph J.
